Howdy Y'all, newbie to this forum and need a little help.........

I have a terrible growling going down the road. I have tetermined that it may be the bearing at the back of the tranny. Can anyone please tell me where I can look at a breakdown on this tranny???

1992 Dodge Conversion Van 2500
Automatic
318 eng

ALSO, Can that rear trannty bearing be pulled by just dropping the drive line ??

Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.....

 

Are you sure its the transmission and not the rear end? Does it get louder with the engine, or louder with vehicle speed?

 

Check the universal joints at each end. The Hayes Repair Manual for the tranny is dicent enough to help you out. The manual number is #30065.

How's the rear axle fluid? Is it full? Any signs of seal leakage on either the back plate or drivetrain seal from the drive shaft? You can check the rear axle fluid easily. Just have the front of the Ram Van on an incline and crawl under the back. Pop open the rubber seal plug and stick you finger in there. If the fluid level is at the plug, you're fine. If not, fill with 75W90.

As for the bearing at the rear of the tranny, I'm not sure since that is a Gen-1 model year.

Shalom!
